You haven't lived until you've had your name lovingly etched across a cake with a toothpick! The cake was yummy. An experimental cake from the back of the Swan's Down box with Kahlua added. The icing was whipped cream with powdered sugar, vanilla, Kahlua and Nutella. Quite a risk taken by someone who, as a rule, doesn't bake...LOL. (PS, note the whipped cream "blob" flower.) I haven't had a cake baked for me in a very, very long time.

hmmm... I get tea and toast... :) I think our SOs went to the same culinary school. LOL...

DH got frazzled this weekend when I asked him to slice me a piece of gingerbread AND put a dollop of lemon curd on top. That was too complicated. He said, "I'm not the cook here!" oh boy... He tries to be good, but finding the gingerbread AND finding the lemon curd was just tooooo much.
